Smart mobility is a phenomenon around which we attract specialists, developers and actors within and outside our own organisation. We expand our network of experts to develop new technologies and service solutions to promote traffic, logistics and human needs.
We are seeking brave partners, such as service providers, technology companies, investors and researchers to join us in the creation of smarter mobility to benefit users. Together with the users and through trials we will find smart mobility applications in areas such as the development of autonomous vehicles.
